Hey!

Normally it is not the business of clients to handle images. Instead, they should run whatever program is configured to open the MIME-type (unless it's something basic, like Gemtext or plain text).

But yes, this seams interesting. And yeah, the clients that display images inline should probably support it.

Cheers,~almaember

Hi All,

This new compressed image format looks like a good fit with Gemini. It's a"simple" format that works with very small implementations. I think itwould be a great addition to the Gemini browsers out there and could makebrowsing even faster.
